They probably could have saved money by just breaking them up and disposing of them, rather than transporting what appear to be solid concrete benches across the park. Of course, the same could be said for most of the stuff back there (what use would they have for the Nickelodeon Central sign?), so I'm probably wrong.
-
I don't know the extent of HB references on the benches, but I can't imagine the park keeping them if they can't do anything with them.
-
Isn't Scooby an HB character? They had an entire store dedicated to him. And, before you're too quick to point out the separate license, that store also carried Flintstones merchandise.

Kings Island's 2010 Schedule Released
CedarPointer replied to Diamondback FOF's topic in Kings Island
No November 1st this year. -
Well, how many of us* have been in the park since November 1? *that do not work for Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and therefore could speak freely about anything they saw
-
Am I the only one who mentally finished "Ki's Online Store" with "...is terrible."? Just delete anything after the .com in the URL and hit enter.
-
The benches are right here.
-
If they slap dancin' Snoopy next to the KI logo next year, I may just cry.
-
You never know! (I didn't think that'd be the first thing someone would notice... something much more obvious is gone too!)
-
There are good reasons to leave it on. For one, it gives a good point of reference for someone trying to find, say, Flight Deck. "Oh, it's over by the big wooden coaster!" And they left Action Theater on... You never know, the map could look like this next year!
-
Keep in mind that SoB was not featured on the Haunt map. Someone at KI surely knew that removing it would spark rumors, but did it anyway. I think that speaks for itself.
-
Okay, good.
-
Actually they are Millennium Flyer trains. http://rcdb.com/4274.htm?p=23326 You do realize that's not the same ride... right?

Tower Johnny?(or something like that)
CedarPointer replied to CP+KI Girl's topic in Kings Island History
Oh dear... -
CF keeps most of the park nice. Honestly, how many people do you see in Tower Gardens? I'd rather they spend their landscaping budget in other areas which have more traffic. Tower Gardens is the exception, not the rule.
-
But if it were to save quite a bit on, say, track maintenance costs, it could save them money.
-
I think the main thing is that it could have EASILY been placed in Action Zone. It would have fit the theme perfectly, and looked much nicer from the top of the Eiffel Tower. (please excuse the poor photoshopping, obviously Slingshot wouldn't be removed)
-
Not that I knew of. Everyone has to have a gold or platinum pass to enter the ERT area. ...or a Kroger card...
-
And next on the list of things that KI needs to bring back (along with The Beastprints and the Action Zone sign) is that compass. It's awesome. Even if they replaced the Eiffel Tower silhouette with that CF flag thingy.
-
That's like a inverting, lying down version of Delirium, right? Like this?
-
Disneyland was too cheap to bank the curves on the PeopleMover track, so the ride had to slow down for each curve. This put a lot of wear and tear on the wheels. Also, it broke down all the time. And, since the PeopleMover track wasn't made to withstand the forces of Rocket Rods, it started to fall apart.
-
Mine would have to be the infamous Rocket Rods at Disneyland. Sorry, but it actually looks kind of fun. And the sound that it makes is fairly cool. Too bad they couldn't bank the turns.
